No Story is complete without its cast, and Quest is no
different. Look below for a peek into the life of your
favorite character, or check the bottom to help you keep track
of the various allies and advisories they encounter along the
way.

The updated character pics hint at what the crew's lives were
like before they got shanghaied into this adventure.

ENJOY!

Ghostlight

Ghost is a rather eccentric elf, probably due to the fact that she
was raised by dragons. The elves banished her after she almost
burnt down their library. That brief bit of her history brings to
light two of her obsessions: dragons and fire. She also likes
magic, particularly if it can be used to produce fire. When not
reading her dragon tome or staring at an open flame Ghost may
spend her time seeing things that aren't there, or pestering
Norten. Despite her quirks Ghost is a really nice person who is
always there for her friends. She is also a surprising fount of
knowledge and wisdom when she puts her mind to it.

Norten Berry

Norten is pretty much an enigma to those trying to travel with
him. He is greedy, rude and always looking for attention, but when
the party is faced with danger he'll put everything on the line,
not necessarily in the brightest manner, but he does his best.
Norten comes from a rich family of gnomes in Odwin where his
mother still lives. Apparently they couldn't put up with him and
kicked him out of the house with enough money to keep most people
going for ages, but then Norten isn't most people.

Catherine Dona'Kova III

Katie is easy going and likable but is possessed by a quick temper
that can blow without warning, or just about all the time if she
doesn't like the situation she's in. She comes from a one of the
prestigious warrior families of Odwin. Raised amid the luxury of
her family's considerable fortune, Katie is a bit spoiled and has
never known true hardship; she will need to grow up considerably,
if she is survive out on her own. Katie's Father is a Sword Master
in the Odwin Shield, (the local army), and her Mother is Captain
of the Town Watch. The only one not martially inclined in her
family is her younger brother Zachary, who wants to become an
artist. The Dona'Kova's have a long standing rivalry with one of
the other warrior families in the region, the Van'Doga's.

Tessa

Not much is known about Tessa. She doesn't talk a
lot and when she does it is usually to complain about Norten. She
also claims she has amnesia and doesn't remember anything before
being nursed back to health by some clerics of Pelor. She is
critical and judgmental and quick to take a dislike to those who
don't come up to her standards. She also may hear voices in her
head.

Char (is
that even her real name?)

Nickname: none
Race: incredibly short human
Age: 16 or there about's
Hair: it appears to be a bleached blonde, who knows what is was
originally
Eyes: Blue
Height: 3' 10"
Most Valued Possession: Dinner

Char is quiet, sarcastic, street wise and incredibly
short. She says it's because her growth was inhibited due to
starving her entire life. She sees the world through callused
eyes, views jail as a place with a meal and a roof over your head,
and may once have worked in a circus. No one has ever seen her
spend a copper. Perhaps she is the one Tessa should really be
watching.

Orion

Nickname: none
Race: human
Age: 23
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5' 9 "
Most Valued Possession: His ship, or it will be if he ever gets
one

Orion is an adventurer in the true sense of the
word. He's roving through life looking for thrills and excitement,
money isn't bad either, but it is more of a passing fancy for him
than something to collect. Originally from the Westerlies, Orion
sailed south when a grateful priest he'd rescued handed him a note
from Heironeous, the Falcon God himself. He isn't particularly
devout, but when a deity says "Go", you listen.

Groupies and Acquaintances

Monkey

Monkey originally belonged to Skamp, and if he had
any other name the foul-tempered elf took it with him to his
grave. There is more to Monkey than meets the eye. He can talk,
for one, albeit with the help of an enchanted earring. He also
plays favorites and likes getting into trouble. I don't think our
wayward adventurers know yet, just what they have on their hands.

Omar Von'Norf

A rather extravagant fellow, Omar is loud and
outgoing. Many find him more than a little annoying. He works for
the Mage Hayden of Maiden's Hair, Charilus Van'Mercer, but he
isn't your average employee. Apparently he owes the prickly mage a
Blood Debt, for what we don't yet know. Don't let his frivolity
and mercurial moods fool you, Omar is actually quite competent and
is a fair hand at magic.

Charilus
Van'Mercer

Grouchy, intolerant, and violent when angered
Charilus isn't the easiest person to get along with. He considers
most people to be idiots and wouldn't waste his time with them,
except that his responsibilities as Mage Hayden keep him tied up
in Maiden's Hair, which means he doesn't have time to pursue his
true obsession - finding the Masks of Destiny.

Shar's Marauders

We don't know much about this motley crew yet, other
than that they also seem to be hunting masks. Shar is a well-know
mercenary who works for the highest bidder. She seems to have
little scruples when it comes to who she works with, after all,
one of her number is certifiably insane, and another may be the
only ogre found south of Osclog.

Elan Mia

Race: human
Age: 18
Hair: Dark brown
Eyes: Black
Height: 5' 0"

Elan is Charilus's granddaughter, and perhaps the
only soul alive for whom he reserves a soft place in his heart.
She's kind, unassuming and generous, but has enough spunk to stand
up to her grandfather, which is saying something. She also has a
fondness for clothes and a talent for healing.

Both her parents were paladins of Pelor, but they
died when she was very young. They were trying to collect the
Masks at the time and Charilus is convinced that finishing their
work is the only way to honor their memory.

Madame
Silvereye

A seer from the elven town of Nimmarde. May be able to see things a
bit more clearly than Ghost would like.

Drassiss

Race: Naga, the three headed variety
Age: probably pretty old
Scales: greenish
Eyes: yellow
Height: will eat you for dinner, no seriously

A questionably evil, (depending upon who you ask), monster the group
finds in a cave. Has a serious lisping problem.

Tessa's Voices

Race: figments?
Age: ...
Height: about three inches

The one with the horns likes to yell at her and Tessa never seems to
hear. The one with the wings seems to have all the sense of a poorly
written moral rule book. Whether they are real or not is hard to
say.

Baron Garth

Race: Solar Elven?

The leader of elves in the town of Nimmarde. Seems to have a vested
interest in the masks and an oily sweet personality.

Gavin
Dona'Kova

Race: Human
Age: ~50
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Blue
Height: 5'8"

Katie's uncle. Apparently a fairly successful business man in the
town of Falls.

Kal Kangran

Race: Human
Age: ~60
Hair: Grey
Height: 6'1"

The Captain of the Falls Guard. Has his hands full dealing with the
weather, rabid 'dogs' and zombies. Probably getting too old for his
job.

Was
Malchor's Dad

Race: undead
Hair: All gone
Eyes: Won't stay where they should be

Seems to be an avatar for a god or something.

Malchor

Race: Human
Age: 30-40
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Black
Height: 5'11"

Originally a member of Shar's Marauders, but has struck out on his
own to cause terror and mayhem.

Lily

Race: Solar Elf
Age: 120
Hair: Light Green
Eyes: Golden
Height: 4'8"

Old friend of Ghostlight's. A druid in the Elven Guard of Mertuo.
Has some specific ideas about how the world should work.

Well, that's all for now folks, I'm
sure they'll pick up some groupies and tag-a-longs as time goes
on, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Art work and story line are
copy write to me, most of the characters belong to my players and most
of the random rules information/spells comes from the Dungeons and
Dragons core rule books. This is after all an illustrated campaign.

Also, now that the
second phase of the comic has begun I must include a shout-out to Dungeon
and Dragon Adventures, whose mask campaign setting lies at the
heart of the story from here on out. Check them out.
